Mississippi is America’s Blackest state. It’s mostly white MAGA Govt annually rejects $1B in Federal $ for Medicaid. Now the last hospital in a rural part of MS is about to close—devastating Black & low income people.

MAGA racism & cruelty on full display. Like the old saying goes. Republicans claim government doesn’t work—then they get elected and prove it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is sharing a tweet listing advertisers that need to be boycotted for pulling off of Twitter, don’t retweet her tweet with a comment. You’re simply amplifying it and tell Twitter’s algorithm to share it even more.

SABOTAGE 10 - THE SUPREME PROBLEM

There is a massive problem in my country (which is the United States) that I’d like to bring to your attention, because I’ve been given to understand that this problem must be solved before anything else can be solved or even considered.
This makes it the supreme problem we face today.

Here is the supreme problem: white conservatives have not been made perfectly comfortable yet, and that is something they find extremely oppressive.

Sadness is precious. Don't reject it as something you didn't need it. Sadness helped you in many ways, such as seeing humanity, relating with others, gaining new perspectives, and, most importantly, empowering you to find your inner joy and strength. From my cabin in the Yukon woods, I am dispatching joy, hope and positivity.

Nothing is better than #hallmark #Christmasmovies and their #pickuplines... "Did Santa drop my present off early?" "Are you Christmas because I want to marry you?"

you will look at my daughter

Rainbow at the farm.

Dear Space Karen,
No thanks.

Where’s the lie? 🤔

When I turned 70, I thought, “Well, that’s it. I’ve had a great career, but it’s winding down.”
Boy, was I wrong. I found social media, and then a second wind at my sails in my 70s! I made my Broadway debut at 78, and I’ll make my London debut at 85.
Life is truly wonderful and magical.

If you’re in London, come see me in Allegiance starting in January. Tix here: https://allegiancemusical.com

🎂 It’s hard for me to admit it. But I need your help. Please follow my soon-to-premier podcast #BookedUp and listen to our trailer.

Let’s prove that I don’t need to be on Twitter to promote the inaugural episode that drops on my birthday — December 4. First guest is Dahlia Lithwick who will talk about LADY JUSTICE, chaos muppets, bobbins, and wearing Ax body spray.

A profile in the British press on my life and my life’s work. I hope you’ll do me the honor of reading it. At the end, there’s info on how to catch me live on a London stage in “Allegiance” starting in January. https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/star-treks-george-takei-cruelly-28590776

You come across some disturbing things when you browse old newspapers. Case in point is the New York Times Amusements This Evening section from December 30, 1851, where they highlight an exhibition of “Two Living Aztec Children“ at the Society Library.

Later on in 1852, the Times goes in much greater detail about how these two children were kidnapped and then sold in San Salvador to an American and brought to New York City to be exhibited.

The title of this thread is called "Angry Black Women".

On January 20, 2017 this picture was my Facebook avatar. It is Michelle Obama at the inauguration of the 45th president. About a month later, a white female person I know texted me "Can you change your avatar photo, now." Which I did. The following is a selection of the Angry Black Women avatars I used since. These Angry Black Women changed out lives for the better.

To ensure cars didn’t take back control of #Paris streets as the pandemic was “ending” (no, it hasn’t ended), like they have in so many cities, Mayor #AnneHidalgo made sure that 60k parking spaces and many streets were permanently transformed into seating for restaurants, people places and bike-lanes.

Leadership.

I have a thick skin. I’m not unaccustomed to attacks. And I surely don’t mind reasonable people raising opposing views. But the bird app has been swamped with MAGA Republicans determined to drive away progressives with false narratives and ad hominem attack. A dispiriting display of the human condition and a waste of time. Alas.
